1. Durham Volunteered for a Christian Charity

According to an FBI press release, Durham was a volunteer at the Upendo Children’s Home in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital.

The charity was founded by Eunice Menja, a woman from Durham’s hometown, Edmond, Oklahoma. The group, which describes itself as a Christian charity, lays out its mission as follows on its website:

To provide child-centered programs that prepare all children for a lifetime of learning, while families of those children are empowered to become self independent. The programs provide quality, comprehensive early and late child development programs and family services to meet the basic needs of low income population. One child at a time- while we envision a community with no more child poverty, no more child abuse but every child with each basic need met.

2. The Feds Say Durham Raped HIV-Positive Orphans

Durham had been a volunteer with Upendo since June 2012. Since then, the feds say he made four trips to Kenya to help out in the orphanage.

On his last trip, between April 30 and June 17, 2014, Durham insisted on staying in the children’s home rather than with a host family, the feds say.

He was housed in an “overflow bunk.” During that period, the feds say he had sex with as many as 10 children, ages 4 to 9, some of whom were were HIV-positive. According to the FBI, in at least one case, Durham had full intercourse.

Durham was arrested at his family’s home in Oklahoma and was held without bond after facing a judge on July 18. He faces another preliminary hearing August 1. If convicted, he faces life in prison. He could also face charges in Kenya.

He said Durham was subject to “false imprisonment” and was delayed from leaving the country. He added, “I don’t think Hollywood could make up what happened at this so-called orphanage.” Jones said he’s investigating the area around where Durham was staying and that “It’s like some cult over there.”

Mrs. Durham and her youngest son (Matthew) enjoyed an amazing mission trip to Kenya the summer of 2014!

Matthew Durham’s father, Kyle, works for the Oklahoma City Fire Department. Matthew Durham is youngest of three brothers, Joshua is the oldest and Zachary is the middle child.

In September 2013, Durham was invited to speak at his local rotary club about his aid work in Kenya. The article about the speech has been deleted from the Edmond Rotary Club website.

The rotary club said in the article that they contributed $500 to Upendo’s projects. The club also said that Durham was part of a group 30 adults and teens who went to Kenya. It also stresses how much the kids in Kenya loved to play soccer.

I feel bad for everyone negatively affected by his actions; the children, his family, the charity, and his trusting church members. I also feel bad for him for not having the power to overcome this sickness. I hope there is some hope for those poor children.

you feel bad for him not being able to overcome his sickness? wtf is wrong with you? fuck this piece of shit. He’s not an alcoholic he’s not a drug addict (he was not under the influence of anything) he’s a sick little fuck who enjoyed raping young orphan children. Talk about taking advantage of the disadvantaged. Fuck this asshole forever. I hope he doesn’t enjoy being raped because he will be repeatedly when he God willing spends a lifetime in jail where he belongs. Ya I agree it’s sad for his family but fuck this lowest of the low piece of shit Child rapist.

Nothing lower than a child molester. And child abuse is one of those gifts that keep on giving. More than likely, Durham was abused at sometime during HIS childhood, probably multiple times. And without a doubt, many of his victims will repeat by abusing someone’s child. The most vicious of circles.

Agreed!!! Brian – WTF is wrong with you that you’re sympathizing with this piece of shit? This is what his family raised. Fuck him and his family. His mother needs to take her sorry azz back to Africa and pay for any treatment her son’s victims need. Hell, she and her hubby need to financially care for all of his victims. smmfh

Seriously?? Blame his parents? I’m sure his parents are going through complete HELL, knowing what their son did. They are not responsible for what their adult son did. Unless, of course, his father molested him, while growing up. But we don’t know that, so WTF is wrong with YOU that you are blaming his parents and more specifically his MOTHER for what HE did??? Guaranteed, his mother did not molest him, while growing up. It’s highly unlikely. sMfh!

You know, I thought about it and what I should have said is it is unfortunate he wasn’t able to overcome this sickness, not so much bad for him. My mistake. I also don’t understand why he is allowed to go through US courts for a foreign incident.
